A Sign for the Times?

This sign is on Leece Street, and I pass it almost every time I head home from the centre of Liverpool. There are more dotted around the city, part of the Biennial I think, but this one seems particularly appropriate given the current world events.

They are proper signs, definitely not grafitti. It's part of Otto Karvonen's installation for the Biennial, there are some more details at this page on the Biennial website. I haven't spotted the other signs shown on that website though - the ones I'm thinking of are a number of signs (half-a-dozen or more) fastened to the side of a building on Dale Street (if I'm remembering correctly). Sorry I can't be any more specific than that.
